You've presented the list with a problem that we haven't been able to solve
given the information available. And no, "the index entries are NOT spawn
in the record page" - index entries use only the key values, they're stored
on index pages, and they're prefix compressed. I haven't a clue what
problem you're seeing. Did gstat tell that your indexes are more than
three levels deep? Paying for support isn't cheap, but wasting weeks of
your time trying to resolve a problem isn't free either.

Best regards,
